oscar nominations are out today, and cuz i'm bored, i'm gonna go through them

Best Picture:
Brokeback Mountain
Crash
Goodnight, and Goodluck
Munich
Capote

Comments: I've only seen Crash (which was excellent). I'll be seeing the others as soon as possible.

Best Director:
Steven Spielberg, Munich
Ang Lee, Brokeback Mountain
Paul Haggis, Crash
Bennett Miller, Capote
George Clooney, Goodnight and Goodluck

Comment: Ang Lee should win this. He should won twice before for both "The Ice Storm" and "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon".

Best Actor:
Philip Seymour Hoffman, Capote
David Strathairn, Good Night, and Good Luck
Heath Ledger, Brokeback Mountain
Joaquin Phoenix, Walk the Line
Terrence Howard, Hustle and Flow

Comment: Hoffman MUST win. He's been one of the best actors in Hollywood for the last ten years, and it's an absolute travesty that he hasn't won already.

Best Actress:
Dame Judi Dench, Mrs Henderson Presents
Felicity Huffman, Transamerica
Charlize Theron, North Country
Reese Witherspoon, Walk the Line
Keira Knightley, Pride and Prejudice

Comment: Witherspoon is the front runner, and she'd deserve it. She was superbe as June Carter.

Best Supporting Actor:
George Clooney, Syriana
Jake Gyllenhaal, Brokeback Mountain
Paul Giamatti, Cinderella Man
Matt Dillon, Crash
William Hurt, A History of Violence

Comment: This one seems to be wide open. I'd be happy eith a Clooney or Giamatti win, though I wouldn't be unhappy with any of the others winning.

Best Supporting Actress:
Rachel Weisz - The Constant Gardener
Michelle Williams - Brokeback Mountain
Frances McDormand - North Country
Amy Adams - Junebug
Catherine Keener - Capote

Comment: I demand Catherine Keener win. She was robbed back in 2000 when she didn't win for her brilliant portrayal of Maxine in Being John Malkovich. The other actresses in this category are all excellent and under normal circumstances deserve Oscars, but CATHERINE KEENER MUST WIN
